Message from the Senior Vice President of Instructional and Student Affairs

Allegany College of Maryland is a learning-centered college committed to making learning the center of all that we do! We encourage students to holistically bring themselves to all their educational experiences. We empower students to be participative, self-directed, and responsible for their learning. We offer numerous support services to assist the individualized educational attainment of each student. We believe that learning can occur within any interaction, and that sometimes the student can be the teacher. We have witnessed that education has the power to transform lives and change communities. This is what we do.

ACM's faculty and staff are dedicated to providing enriching educational experiences inside and outside the classroom, and preparing our students for productive, successful, meaningful, and fulfilling lives. ACM is proud of its leadership position in the delivery of quality educational programs and services to the citizens, businesses, and agencies of our tristate service area. The educational attainment of our students is an institutional priority to create a skilled, globally competitive workforce. We are proud that ACM graduates are in high demand by employers.

Finally, ACM is honored to have been one of the original signatory colleges in The Democracy Commitment, a national consortium of two-year colleges dedicated to preparing students for participation in democracy. To this end, ACM is dedicated to the civic engagement of our students through the College to Community Partnership Center. The College to Community Partnership Center creates learning opportunities for our students to cultivate their humanity and foster their public mindedness; to make their neighborhoods, their communities, and the world a better place. We strive to educate these empowered citizens through both curricular and co-curricular pathways by bridging the classroom with the community, the academic with the civic.

We hope that it is clear that ACM is a pretty special place! Quality programs. Dedicated faculty and staff. Student-focused. Career preparation. Learning-centered. Civic engagement.

So, LAUNCH your educational journey with us TODAY! Your time is now!

Sincerely,
Dr. Kurt Hoffman
Senior Vice President of Instructional and Student Affairs
